The Shinobi World

As tensions rise and alliances fray, the shinobi world plunges into chaos with the outbreak of the Second Great Ninja War. Fought primarily between the major powers—Konohagakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Amegakure, and others—the war spreads across the continent, turning neutral territories into battlegrounds and tearing apart entire nations. Konohagakure, under the leadership of Hiruzen Sarutobi, finds itself battling enemies on multiple fronts. The war becomes a crucible for the next generation of ninja. Legendary figures such as Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru—dubbed the Sannin—emerge from this brutal conflict, earning their titles after surviving a grueling battle against Hanzo of the Salamander in Amegakure.
